| We stayed Dec 2008 at this unbelievable condo owned by Bill Sands. Over the past years I have stayed on St Thomas at Secret Harbor, Point Pleasant, and Sapphire Beach Resort, none which can hold a stick to this property Sapphire Village Resort at Sapphire Beach! We were so impressed how clean and bright the condo was, and oh what a VIEW! You can see St John and the BVI Islands. One of favorite place was enjoying coffee on the private deck enjoying the ocean breeze, and view. We also enjoyed the spaciousness of the unit, other places we stayed represented that their units as one bedroom condos, and when we got there it was a glorified hotel room or studio! This unit is a spacious one bedroom and we enjoyed the space. We picked up fresh fish just down the road, and prepared it in the fully equipped Mod. Kitchen. There is nothing like fresh caught seafood, we played games at the dining room table and on the deck. The living room offered a really comfortable sleep sofa for my son. The mattress was enhanced by a comfortable padding system. There is also a love seat, and a teak armed side chair. The one wall is all glass overlooking the ocean and you don’t even need the A/C the trade wind breeze was all we needed. We also enjoyed the privacy of having a separate bedroom with its own a/c control and TV. The bedroom is so comfortable. The sheets were Egyptian cotton and the furniture and art work was first class. We open the windows at night at we could hear the ocean. We also enjoyed the fact that the dressing room and vanity was separate from the showing area which allowed two people to use the bathroom at the same time. One final thought is the location of the unit…it’s the best… your in the middle floor of a three story condo building but from the driveway side you are a walk in so no staircase to climb or descend. A few steps away is a pool, and there is another pool just around the building which is more people due to the Bistro Restaurant so we choose the Pool by the unit, it was quit and is surrounded lush tropical plants and palms. There is an outside shower there which was convenient on beach days. We also enjoyed the location on the East End. We enjoyed the Village of Red Hook just a ½ mile away. We found everything we needed at the gourmet grocery store there, called Marina Market Shoppe. We also tried several restaurants and bars Molly’s Malone & Duffy’s both were great. One night we went to St John, the ferry is only like 20 minutes by boat and the terminal is right there in Red Hook. We really enjoyed Morgan Mangos restaurant on the waterfront in Cruz Bay and you will see it just outside of the Mongoose Junction shops. The ferry is cheap and Fun! If you snorkel Sapphire Beach is incredible! We saw sea turtles! Just down the road is a beach called Smith Bay Beach; a locally it is known as Lindquist Beach. It was better then the Beaches on St John and it’s our favorite. Thanks! We are coming back May 2009 |
